Video introducing the DfE primary national curriculum guidance

This three-minute video introduces the new DfE primary national curriculum guidance, and explains how schools and teachers can use the ready-to-progress criteria to plan an effective maths curriculum.

EXEMPLIFICATION OF READY-TO-PROGRESS CRITERIA

The PowerPoints include links to relevant resources and pupil-facing activities. They are ideal to be used with small groups of pupils/whole class teaching to support review, practice, and consolidation. Each PowerPoint can be downloaded and adapted for your learners' needs.

The pupil activities are intended to stimulate interaction and discussion. We suggest you use them flexibly and are guided by pupils' response, repeating activities where pupils lack confidence. When using these for Covid curriculum recovery or at the start of a year, you should use the materials from the previous two year groups. If you are teaching Year 4 for example, the Year 2 and Year 3 materials can be used to review, practice and consolidate learning from the previous years. The Year 5 and Year 6 materials are ideal for KS3 intervention. The ready-to-progress criteria are intended as goals for the end of the year.

The document above contains links to the NCETM RTP exemplification PowerPoints from Year 1 to Year 6.

Assessment

Example assessment questions are provided for each ready to progress criterion within the Year Group chapters.

Early Years and Year 1 KS1 KS2

These questions demonstrate the depth and breadth of understanding that pupils need to be ready to progress to the next year group.

Each strand below contains example assessment question from year 1 to 6, a KS2 to KS3 transition quiz containing example assessment questions from year 4 to 6 and a year 4 to 5 transition quiz containing example assessment questions from year 2 to 4 . The quizzes are created on Microsoft forms and can be copied and adapted for use with pupils in your own school to identify gaps in knowledge. Find out how here.

Click the button to see a web version of the assessment questions for each strand. A PowerPoint version is available to download and adapt under each button.

The examples assessment questions and quizzes on this site should be use to assess informally to identify gaps and inform planning.
